Information should include: a detailed timeline (with dates) of when the lead official contacted ministers/special advisers (and vice versa); any notes or comments or suggestions offered by ministers or special advisers to the lead official; any input from the SG FOI Unit; any advice or comments from ministers/spads rejected by the lead official; any advice or comments from ministers/spads accepted by the lead official; any correspondence (as defined previously) on the use of exemptions; any correspondence (as defined previously) on material to be redacted; any information on delays to the FOI response; any information on who received the FOI to clear, when they responded and what they said; and any information on delays to the FOI response. While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information you have requested because exemptions under sections 38(1)(a) and 38(1)(b) (personal information) and 30(c) (substantial prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs) of FOISA apply to that information. Under section 25(1) of FOISA, we do not have to give you information which is already reasonably accessible to you. Reasons for not providing information Exemptions apply under sections 38(1)(a) and 38(1)(b). An exemption under section 38(1)(a) of FOISA (personal information) has been applied to your own name and contact details because they are personal information of which you are the data subject, and so they are subject to the General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018.
